Analysis
Sociolinguistic questionnaires
The Knowledgeable Insider and Individual Sociolinguistic Questionnaires were used to draw conclusions regarding language vitality, language attitudes, and reported bilingualism. Some responses were used as anecdotal evidence in prose form.
Wordlist
The wordlist collected in this survey was compared to a Muser wordlist collected by Muer people in Ban Huay Nam Yen about 50 words. Then lexical similarly was determined using the methodology described in Appendix C. In addition, the tonal system of Muser in Thailand was analyzed using the ‘Gedney box’ method and compared to the Gedney tone box results for Muser people.
